Interactive Brownian motion simulation of molecular transport across a lipid bilayer. Simple diffusion: all small molecules pass freely through concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion: molecules pass only through protein channels. Active transport: ATP-powered pump drives ions against their concentration gradient, accumulating them on the high-concentration side. Demonstrates osmosis, equilibration, and active vs passive membrane transport mechanisms.

Simple Diffusion
Small molecules pass freely through the lipid bilayer, driven by the concentration gradient (high → low). The system reaches equilibrium when both sides equalise.
